You have no right to retaliate, report any form of Police brutality – Police PRO, Adejobi

CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Public Relations Officer for the Police Force, has stated that no Nigerian has the right to confront or retaliate against police officers, even “if the officer slaps the civilian”.

He said any victim of police brutality should report to the police department instead of taking matters into their own hands.

He said this reacting to a viral video on his phone of a man dragging a weapon while arguing angrily with a police officer and what appeared to be suspected molestation.

“So, it’s not a case of what the policeman did that led to it, but the reaction of the civilians who actually assaulted the police, he said

“If police assault a civilian, you report and actions will be taken to rebuke him, not to take the law into your hands.

“Let alone, it’s a matter of checking phones, which can be easily reported and addressed. Now they are kept in our 5-star hotel in Lagos and will be in court on Monday.

“Are you going to visit them or send them food, or appear in court to defend them? Don’t support what is bad, ok,” he warned.
